system of the season is here bringing rain and wind across the area. >> we'll go over to lawrence. >> i have been getting ready for this all summer. finally it looks like the first storm system of the season is rolling in the bay area. let's take a look at our hi-def doppler this morning. and you can see the heaviest activity with the cold front in much of the north bay. we have seen scattered showers elsewhere around the bay area but most of the heavy activity with the front is still lingering to the north and that will continue to be the case. you're going to see some pockets of moderate to heavy rainfall in the north bay this morning maybe upwards of an inch of rainfall in some of the wetter spots there so be very, very careful. the roads are going to be slick. it's going to take time for the storm system to move through, probably through noon. and we have some time we are going to see some of the heaviest rains through the bay area turning to snow in the sierra nevada where they could see upwards of a foot of snow so, yeah, it looks like more snow for them, the rainy season

is under way. we have more on that coming up. let's send it over to gianna.

we have a wreck south 880 at 980. there's flooding in the road as well several vehicles involved in this accident two lanes blocked right now. you can see yellow on our sensors so slow and go traffic conditions. we are getting reports of flooding around high street. eastbound 4 at hillcrest all lanes are shut down. they have issued a traffic alert in the area. this is also due to flooding. that's also slowing traffic down around the area. hopefully you can wrap up shortly. you can see some delays this morning. traffic alert highway 29 and old lolly road. we have downed lines in the area. traffic alert at old lawley road. we'll check the sierra travel as well because there may be some chain requirements. back to you guys. >>

debate. >> reporter: the obama campaign has plenty to be excited about. early voters in ohio favor the president 54-39%. >> if you look at the early voting that's going on around the country, it's very robust and it's very favorable to us and we think that's a better indicator than these public polls which are frankly all over the map. >> reporter: the president also leads among those who say they are going to vote on election day. randall pinkston, cbs news, boca raton, florida. and the latest numbers show the presidential race is a dead heat. a "wall street journal" poll released yesterday showing that president obama and mitt romney are getting support from 47% of likely voters. but among the wider pool of all registered voters obama is ahead 49-44%. you can watch the final presidential debate tonight at 6:00 on cbs 5 and on cbssf.com. if you haven't registered to vote, your time is running

>> probably too young to understand claustrophobia. are you a happy guy today? >> i am! the giants and raiders won and we have the rain back. it's looking good except if you are on the roads. it's going to be slick this morning. rain picking up in the north bay. moisture is pumping in off the pacific and rolling in in your direction. this is going to slowly slide across the rest of the bay area throughout the morning so there's plenty more rain to come. a little breezy especially approaching the coastline. rain just about everywhere you go as we head throughout the morning. so be prepared. those roads with the first rain usually very slick. this afternoon, looks like it will turn to showers. temperatures going to be cool. looks like the trough will camp out. we'll see the front move through today. that will bring rainfall, heavy in the morning, showers this afternoon, and more storms through the middle of the week. the clouds and that cold front located in the north bay and

then it slides on through. and as we head through the morning, you can see most of the north bay already turns to showers. south bay starting to see heavy amounts of rainfall with the front moving through about 9:00 and then it moves out of town. so we have the big giants game today at 5:00. it looks more like scattered showers so doesn't look like it will be a rainout. they will play but you could see some occasional stops as some of the cells move by. things settling down in the latter part of the afternoon but not bad. temperatures in the 50s. i think as we look toward the next couple of days, more showers expected on tuesday. another strong band of rain expected to move through on wednesday. then it turns dry thursday, friday and into next weekend but the roads, it's going to be crazy this morning, gianna. >> it is. it already is. we have a group of accidents coming in through chp. we'll focus on things blocking lanes on freeways right now. you can see slick surfaces right now as you work your way towards the bay bridge toll plaza.

so give yourself some extra time. so one of those trouble spots right now is along highway 4 westbound at hillcrest first reported eastbound but chp says they changed the direction. hanged the it is westbound 4 at hillcrest. all lanes shut down. they are diverting traffic off the freeway because of flooding in the road. they are hoping to have things wrapped up before the morning commute really gets into full swing there but again you will see delays off the antioch bridge off westbound highway 4. 880 better news. reports of flooding and a multi- vehicle accident on 880 near 980. that's cleared out and traffic is okay in both directions. but again, slick roads around that area. traffic alert highway 29 continues at old lawley toll road. those lanes are shut down right now due to downed power lines in the road. we are starting to see some delays early this morning on the altamont pass westbound and eastbound 580 so give yourself some extra time. drive times still looking okay. looks like the south bay not too bad. no word of any major accidents

or incidents blocking lanes. 101 northbound through san jose clear, 280, as well. southbound 101 out of marin county into san francisco, live look at the golden gate bridge still a 13-minute drive coming away from 580 but slick surfaces as you can see in our live traffic cam. so be careful heading into san francisco. probably a good day to take mass transit. we are seeing no delays for bart, ace, muni, caltrain and ferries. if you want to avoid the roads and rain, use mass transit. there are chain restrictions because of the weather. you will see requirements on 80 and 50. this is a live look at conditions near crystal springs. so looks like some very snowy wet weather up there. back to you guys. >> suddenly it's winter. >> i know. >> thank you. new this morning, lance armstrong has been stripped of all of his tour de france titles. that decision comes after the u.s. anti-doping agency banned armstrong from professional cycling. agency claims it has overwhelming evidence that armstrong was involved in the most sophisticated doping program. international cycling union

was. >> reporter: a doctor from the seti institute said this is a piece of the fireball. he helped track it. he says this is only the 20th meteorite ever found with a known trajectory helping scientists determine the place of its origin. >> this is a little souvenir of our past, a little photo album that tells us what happened at the time when the solar system was born. >> reporter: because they were able to track the path of the meteor doesn't mean they thought they would find a piece of the rock because most of this area is just rural open land. >> it was open in novato, where there was some population, some buildings and so on so we were really fortunate that at least one piece hit a structure here so we learned about it. >> reporter: he is hoping others will search their neighborhoods between san rafael and sonoma, quickly, before the rain hits. >> anything that's out of the ordinary, just check it out. >> reporter: you never know
